  • This paper empirically investigates the effects of technology licensing on the licensee firm's performance with the help of a unique data set of observed licensing transactions in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry. We examine how intensity of licensing participation as a licensee affects the firm's performance. This study also analyzes how relationship between the licensor and the licensee in a deal along with characteristics of participants and their industry influences the performance of the licensee firm. The findings suggest that frequent participation in technology licensing increase licensee firm's sales growth. Also, transaction cost considerations and technology spillovers are important explanatory factors that influence licensee firms' performance in licensing.

  • Information and communication technology (ICT) is increasingly recognized as an important driver of economic growth, innovation, employment and productivity and is widely accepted as a main feature of development. During the last couple of decades, ICT sector became the most innovative service sector that affected the living standards of human beings all over the world. In the beginning of the $21^{st}$ century, some of the Asian countries made reforms in the ICT sector and spent an enormous amount for the progress of this sector. On the other hand, developed countries in the European Union (EU) faced different crises which badly affected the dissemination of this sector. Consequently, EU countries lost their hegemony in the field of information technology and resultantly, some of the emerging Asian countries like China, India, and South Korea got supremacy over the EU in this field. Currently, these countries have a strong IT infrastructure, R&D sector, IT research centers working for the development of ICT. Moreover, this paper investigates reasons for the shifting of the balance of digital power from Europe to Asia.

  • The computerized management system for bridges is required due to the increased service life and number of bridges. This paper provides information and communication technology (ICT) - based bridge management system (BMS) to enable life cycle management through a comparative study with the development trend and function of domestic and foreign BMSs. BMS developed as an operation system combined an internet and mobile program, and was based on GIS technology and an object-based information management system. BMS supports the establishment of long-term strategies and short-term plans based on predicting the life-cycle performance profile and the necessary budget by object-based informatization for the whole life-cycle information of bridges. Useful knowledge information for supporting decision making was derived from the life-cycle management strategies establishment for approximately 6,000 existing bridges. BMS was developed to be applicable to all nationwide road bridges. In addition, it can be used practically to maintain the performance based on accurate maintenance result management, reducing cost by reasonable budget management, and enhancing the convenience and reliability of field data collection.

  • Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a vital instrument for delivering a number of services such as education, healthcare and public services. Community wireless networks are community-centric telecommunication infrastructure developed to provide affordable communication for those who live in remote areas. This chapter discusses the role of Nepal Wireless in achieving socio economic development of rural communities by facilitating affordable Internet access. We analyze the challenges Nepal Wireless faced and articulate on the approaches it took to address those challenges such as lack of technical skills, appropriate technology and funding, difficult geographical terrains, unstable political situation, and expensive devices. In addition, we address the success and failure factors of this community-based ICT4D approach in order to guide similar endeavors. We conclude the chapter by some suggestions for policy makers, community developers, and academicians.

  • 정보통신기술(ICT: Information & Communication Technology) 활용 학교 교육을 활성화하기 위해 ICT 활용 교수-학습 모형과 과정안을 개발, 적용하고 ICT를 활용한 자기주도적 학습 능력을 신장할 수 있는 수업 방안의 연구가 필요하다. 그러나 이와 같은 필요성이 있는데도 ICT가 교육헌장에서 효과적으로 활용되고 있다고는 보기 어렵다. 기존의 강의와 학습자료를 단순히 인터넷으로 제공하는 형식의 기능적 ICT 활용교육이 어느 정도의 학습 효과를 창출할 것인지 문제는 결국 ICT를 효과적으로 활용할 수 있는 교수-학습을 설계해야 한다는 과제를 제시하고 있다 본 연구는 이와 같은 문제의식에 따라 먼저 ICT 활용 교육에 대하여 고찰한 결과를 학생 중심 학습환경을 제공하는 프로젝트 학습에 적용하여 ICT를 활용한 프로젝트 학습 모형을 설계하고 학습을 지원해 줄 학습 시스템은 상호작용 기능과 피드백에 중점을 두어 설계하였다

  • This study presented the factor analysis on constructing the new factors affecting the middle school students' online learning behaviors from the questionnaires employed among middle school students. A total of 204 students participated and the data were collected in South Korea. The sample of middle school ninth-grade students was selected and used through purposive sampling. Findings from the factor analysis provided evidence for the eight-factor solution for the 35-items accounting for 66.15% of the shared variance. A wide range of factors has been considered to identify students' online learning behaviors. The appropriate experience and use of e-learning in the middle school period is also important as it will be a critical stepstone for future education. This research provides information that has been taken into account for advancing online learning to enhance the quality of e-learning systems for middle school students. The study results provided eight new factors affecting the middle school students' online learning behaviors; that is 1) communication using social media as a learning tool, 2) intention to share information using ICT, 3) addiction of technology, 4) adoption of technology, 5) seeking information using ICT, 6) use of social media learning, 7) information search using ICT, and 8) immersion of technology. This study confirmed that middle school students prefer communication using social media as a learning tool, and value intention to share information using ICT for the most part. The data obtained based on factor analysis can highlight the online learning behaviors towards a mixture of social media learning and ICT to ensure a new educational platform for the future of e-learning. This research expects to be useful for both middle schools of online learning to better understand students' online learning behaviors and design online learning environments and information professionals to better assist students who particularly need digital literacy.

  • The aim of this study is to explore 'how is ICT being used in social work education and are they effective?' In order to answer the questions, a content analysis was conducted. Three academic databases, DBPIA, Kiss, EBSCO were searched to look for the articles that investigated ICT and social work education between Jan. 2016 and July, 2022. No study was found from DBPIA and Kiss. Based on inclusion criteria, thirteen articles were selected from EBSCO. Those articles were analyzed following 9 analytic themes: Country, Undergraduate or Graduate Student, Pedagogical Theory, Course Goal, Course Content, Evaluation Method, Outcome, Applied Software or Program. As results of the study, the platforms primarily used for social work education were VR, Second Life, PeopleSIM, course-tailored Applications. In addition, the following was illustrated as effectiveness of ICT in social work education; immersiveness, course satisfaction, improved knowledge, etc. Study limitations and recommendations of future applications were also discussed.

  • Recently, due to the development of ICT technology, changes to the convergence service platform of information systems are accelerating. Convergence services expanded to cyber systems with 5G communication, IoT, AI, and cloud are being reflected in the real world. However, the field of cybersecurity audit for responding to cyber attacks and security threats and strengthening security technology is insufficient. In this paper, we analyze the international standard analysis of information security management system, security audit analysis and security of related systems according to the expansion of 5G communication, IoT, AI, Cloud based information system security. In addition, we design and study cybersecurity audit checklists and contents for expanding security according to cyber attack and security threat of information system. This study will be used as the basic data for audit methods and audit contents for coping with cyber attacks and security threats by expanding convergence services of 5G, IoT, AI, and Cloud based systems.
